Presents a concise survey of corpus linguistics. This book introduces the key concepts in corpus linguistics and provides a brief history of the discipline. It shows how corpus linguistics can advance our study of words and meaning, the benefits of studying the corpora, and how meaning can best be conceptualised. It also includes a glossary.

Corpus linguistics is often regarded as a methodology in its own right. This book includes coverage of the lexical priming theory, parole-linguistics, a four-part model of language system and language use, and the concept of local textual functions. It illustrates the theoretical arguments.

This text offers an introduction to words and corpus linguistics. From this foundation it explores the much wider issues that are inevitably raised but somehow marginalized in lexicology (the study of words) and corpus linguistics.
